Interesting. I wonder what other factors you might have going against you causing CF to captcha you - I have my Firefox loaded up with almost every ad-blocking, privacy, and anti-fingerprinting extension I could think of, but I rarely get CAPTCHAs.


> I wonder what other factors

Yes, and that's my point: it's not action that the user can take to resolve accusations, and it's not because of abusive behavior it's just `response.status(200 if random.randbool() else 403)`


Possibly IP address; Cloudflare doesn't like cgnat/shared addresses, or even if you just happen to be in a subnet they don't like.


> Cloudflare doesn't like

and theeeeeeeeeere's your problem.


I block cookies and js. Cloudflare doesn't like that.


Ah yes, the classic "we care about security and privacy so much that we're going to force you to enable the biggest exploit vectors" move; classic Cloudflare:)
